Cigarettes & Saints - The Wonder Years[00:00:00]
Twice a week[00:00:03]
I pass by the church that held your funeral[00:00:05]
And the pastor's words come pouring down like rain[00:00:11]
How he called you a sinner[00:00:18]
And said now you walk with Jesus[00:00:22]
So the drugs that took your life aren't[00:00:26]
Gonna cause you any pain[00:00:29]
I don't think he even knew your name[00:00:34]
And I refuse to kneel and pray[00:00:41]
I won't remember you that way[00:00:44]
I lit you a candle[00:00:49]
In every cathedral across Europe[00:00:52]
And I hope you know you're still my patron saint[00:00:57]
I tried to forgive[00:01:05]
But I can't forget the cigar in his fist[00:01:08]
I know that they were heartsick but I need someone to blame[00:01:12]
And I know how they blamed me[00:01:19]
I know what you'd say[00:01:23]
You'd tell me it was your fault[00:01:27]
I should put all my arrows away[00:01:31]
I'm sure there ain't a heaven[00:01:38]
But that don't mean I don't like to picture you there[00:01:43]
I'll bet you're bumming cigarettes off saints[00:01:47]
And I'm sure you're still singing[00:01:54]
But I'll bet that you're still just a bit out of key[00:01:57]
That crooked smile pushing words across your teeth[00:02:02]
Cause you were heat lightning[00:02:09]
Yeah you were a storm that never rolled in[00:02:12]
You were the northern lights in a southern town[00:02:16]
A caustic fleeting thing[00:02:20]
I'll bury your memories in the garden[00:02:23]
And watch them grow with the flowers in spring[00:02:27]
I'll keep you with me[00:02:32]
These wolves in their suits and ties[00:03:34]
Saying kid you can trust me[00:03:38]
Charming southern drawl sunken eyes[00:03:42]
Buying good will in hotel lobbies[00:03:45]
Buy fistfuls of pills to make sure you don't hurt no more[00:03:49]
You don't gotta feel anything[00:03:53]
Got their fangs in our veins[00:03:56]
Got their voice in our head[00:03:57]
Got our arms in their grips[00:03:59]
No we can't shake free[00:04:01]
This goddamn machine hungry and heartless[00:04:03]
My whole generation got lost in the margin[00:04:07]
We put our faith in you and you turned a profit[00:04:11]
Now we're drowning here under the waves[00:04:15]
Drowning out under the waves[00:04:23]
Drowning out drowning out[00:04:30]
You can't have my friends[00:04:33]
Can't have my brothers[00:04:35]
You can't have my friends[00:04:36]
You can't have my brothers[00:04:38]
You can't have my friends[00:04:40]
You can't have my brothers[00:04:42]
You can't have me[00:04:44]
No you can't have me[00:04:45]
